Farewell to football, Higuain “challenges” the famous Turkish chef: I’ll learn guitar too!

A few days ago, Gonzalo Higuain announced that he would retire from football at the end of the current season. More recently, he revealed that he has no intention of staying active and returning to sport as a director, ambassador or even coach. The Argentine, who currently plays for Inter Miami in MLS, has completely different plans for after hanging up his boots and, in an interview with Goal.com, said he was drawn to the idea of exploring the culinary arts or even learning English.

“MLS and the United States have taught me how to enjoy everything that I used to be forbidden from doing. I love my daughter and my wife very much, and now my life revolves around them; they are the ones who stand by me through good times and bad. As for other activities after football, I like cooking; maybe I’ll learn guitar and English too.

I have no intention of staying in the world of football; it’s an environment that is becoming increasingly toxic, and I don’t feel I belong there. I want to leave the sport behind; I’ll follow it as an ordinary spectator. It’s a world I don’t belong to as much as I initially thought. After football, I want to broaden my horizons and enjoy my family,” Higuain said.
